The Bird Soldier of Aven Squire is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 3.161 billion Bird Soldiers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 17.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Aven economy, worth 134 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,415 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Every political office comes fitted with a typewriter and an old filing cabinet, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime is well under control. Aven Squire's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aven Squire is ranked 280,183^rd in the world and 2^nd in DnD for Most Extreme, scoring 5.98 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
